Unbox Apple iMac 24-inch 2.8GHz

Filed in: Gadgets — September 8th, 2008

I bought an Apple iMAc 24-inch 2.8GHz desktop computer during the PC Fair 2008 (II) from Machines. I had unboxed the iMac in the night of the day I bought it.

It is HUGE! I didn’t know how to get the iMac out of the box. At the end, I turned the box upside down to get it out. (dangerous movement!)

Here are the photos taken (uploaded to Flickr):

There are only a few items contained in the iMac box: Apple iMac, Apple slim keyboard, Apple mighty mouse and Apple remote.

There is no Mac OS X beginner guide like Apple iBook box, only a small “Everything Mac” booklet which tells you the features of your iMac and the problem troubleshooting.

Apple isn’t trouble free. I experienced iMac screen “burn”/blackout and system hang problems in just a few days.

It seems the iMac’s heat caused the various problems. I installed a freeware called smcFanControl and everything become all right!

    just curious, between a Mac and a PC, which OS do you prefer? and how much time do you spend with a Mac OS X against the Windows?

    I am pretty much a PC guy, not that I love windows but I like the scalability of a PC.

    @DannyArcher: you mean Mac OS X and Windows? I prefer Mac OS X. I don’t use Windows unless I have to.

    Scalability is the major advantage of PC but it also increase the possibility of hardware conflicts.

    I seldom upgrade computer after I bought one, so Mac is fine to me. I like the stability of a Mac.
